Oxygen Carbon Temperature and Sampling Manipulator

The REMSO Temperature, Oxygen, Carbon & Sampling Manipulator is mounted on support structure, which swivels from a parking position to the measuring position. The RTSM, provides the possibility to measure temperature and to take a sample by means of disposable cardboard Immersion Sampler.

Working Principle

The temperature measurement is an integral part of tracking progress throughout the tap-to-tap cycle in steel making. Expendable probes are also used for tracking bath carbon content and dissolved oxygen levels in the steel. These tools have enabled the tap-to-tap cycle to be accelerated by eliminating long waiting periods for lab results, thus increasing productivity. Disposable probes are typically mounted in cardboard sleeves that slide on to a steel probe (pole) which has internal electrical contacts. The disposable probe transmits an electrical signal to the steel pole, which in turn transmits the signal to an electronic unit for interpretation. Almost all probes rely on an accurate temperature measurement to precisely calculate carbon or oxygen levels.

The TSM from parking position to working / measuring position and back is fully automated. The complete system of RTSM and swiveling support can be supplemented by an Automatic Probe Changer with a magazine of lance tips. Which also break the SLAG and take the sample and temperature.
